I understand perfectly what I am doing. I may not understand perfectly what someone else is doing with that old path. And I may not understand perfectly what my predecessor did with my file in its distant past. If I did, I would not be seeking out its history, now would I? In any case, your wrapper script is insufficient; it doesn't display my file's entire history without the cruft of a second (or third or fourth) that happen to have shared a path with my file at some point. >--- End of forwarded message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
